Security Cameras Installed on 22 Bahman Demonstration Paths

Iran News Agency – Azadi and Enghelab Avenues are to be equipped with security cameras. The regime has taken extensive measures to quell the people’s movement in the wake of political, social, and local groups supporting the green movement at the outset of 22 Bahman (February 11) demonstrations.

Enghelab and Azadi Avenues, which link Imam Hossein and Azadi Squares, have been equipped with numerous advanced closed-circuit security cameras. These cameras are said to be installed 50 paces apart on both sides of Enghelab and Azadi Avenues.

Such security measures coincide with serious problems that have occurred with media technology such as SMS, email, and Gmail. Government agents are attempting to use the cameras to prevent people from gathering on the streets.

Nonetheless, considering that February 11th is a highly pivotal day for the continuation of the struggle against the regime, the extensive presence of people on the streets of Tehran is anticipated.

Although the regime is trying to draw out pro-government groups to occupy Azadi and Enghelab Avenues, it is not yet clear whether such attempts will prove feasible. Either way, after ordering different provincial and local Basij units to send their forces to Tehran to occupy the streets, the installation of such security cameras is the regime’s new preparatory move for countering the streams of people’s protests on February 11.
